Contributions sustain the work of the Foundation for Teaching Economics. The generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations make the FTE's programs possible. In accord with its charter, the FTE accepts no funding from public sources.
Contributions go entirely to support actual program expenses. All of the administrative, overhead and fundraising costs of the FTE are paid for by income from an endowment.
